"Rhythm, for a game, very, very important!"

At Athletic Bilbao's San Mames Stadium, where the first leg of the 09/10 Spanish Super Cup is being staged, Athletic Bilbao has chosen to build a strong fortress on their home turf as always.

Athletic Bilbao can participate in this year's UEFA Cup because of the Spanish Copa del Rey, the coach Caparos is good, their home record is amazing, and the San Mamés Stadium is also known as one of the most difficult home stadiums in La Liga, but there are also many flaws, for example, Athletic Bilbao has no foreign players, all Basque players.

Emotionally, this is a very respectable team, and the strength of this team is not weak, such as high school striker Llorente, midfield midfielder Xavi? Martinez is a very strong player, but this team also has a big problem, that is, it is too young, which is also related to the fact that Athletic Bilbao only uses Basque players.

Athletic Bilbao have always had the ambition to repeat their glory as one of the biggest names in La Liga history, but their performances in La Liga have been up and down and their results have been inconsistent, but one thing is for sure, this is a super tough team.

Because in the previous warm-up matches and training, some players of Real Madrid did not perform very well, or had injuries, so the lineup for this game, Yang Cheng has changed.

The goalkeeper is Casillas, and the backline is Marcelo and Thiago? Silva, Pepe and McConn, with Xavi at the back? Alonso and Mascherano, attacking in front of the attackers, respectively, Ronaldo, Kaka and David? Silva, the single striker is Sergio Aguero.

Villa has not been in great form since participating in the summer training camp and suffered another injury against Japan's Kashima Antlers. made Yang Cheng not arrange him in this game, and replaced him with Aguero, who was very eye-catching in the warm-up game.

Athletic Bilbao is young and young. But they are physically better than Real Madrid. Especially in terms of average height, their players are generally above 1.8 meters, and there are 4 players in the list who reach 1.9 meters, occupying a certain physical advantage.

In this game, they did not choose to go head-to-head with Real Madrid. It's more about shrinking and defending, relying on physical superiority. Adopt a strategy to limit Real Madrid's attack.

This made the game suddenly deadlocked.

From the pitch, the Real Madrid players skillfully and tacitly interspersed with each other to run back and forth and pass and receive the ball, you can see the progress that Real Madrid has made after the summer training camp. They are all professional players. The skills with the ball themselves are already excellent, and they have adapted to Yang Cheng's off-ball running system before, which makes them improve very quickly in this regard.

All changes are a cumulative process from quantitative to qualitative, and Real Madrid's players have a foundation, which makes it easier for them to improve in this area than any other team.

"If you control the pace of the game, your opponent will be choked by the neck. When you pinch it, he will lose his breath. But that doesn't mean you're going to win, it's all about timing, and you need a manager who can read the game! ”

Around Yang Cheng, Zidane, Raul and Guti all listened carefully, Raul and Guti did not enter the game lineup in this game, but sat in the coach's seat and followed the coaching staff of Real Madrid to learn.

"After we opened, we directly pressed Athletic Bilbao for 20 minutes, no effect, if you don't know, people will definitely think, idiots, just do useless work, but they all ignore one point, we firmly control the initiative and rhythm of the game in our hands, the opponent can't take it back!" ..., "With the initiative and rhythm, the next thing is to look, look at the situation!" ”

"Athletic Bilbao is a very young team, young and inexperienced, when we are slow, they will play more aggressively, as soon as we retreat, they will come out involuntarily, we just have to control the rhythm, pull them out and play back, and we win!"

Yang Cheng introduced his game strategy, some of which were formulated before the game, and some were based on the on-the-spot command and changes of the head coach, so the current head coach is becoming more and more important to a team.

Zidane sat in the coach's box, and they all felt new when they heard it, because they were all players before, and they rarely thought about such issues from the perspective of a manager, and now it sounds like the way the manager thinks about problems is different from the way players think on the field.

As Yang Cheng said, Real Madrid firmly controlled the situation of the game, but did not attack anxiously, but used passes and runs to pull Athletic Bilbao, although they also frequently created threats, but never played the strong offensive momentum after the opening.

But in the 38th minute of the game, Real Madrid played a controversial attack.

David? Silva pulled to the right side, received a pass from McConn, got rid of the defender, and passed the ball to Kaka, the Brazilian did not stop the ball and went straight to the plug, Aguero successfully countered offside, burst into the penalty area after winning the ball, faced the attacking goalkeeper, crossed the ball to the left side, Xiao Xiaoluo made it in one fell swoop, 0:1!

The referee signaled that the goal was valid, but the Athletic Bilbao players protested to the referee, believing that Ronaldo was in an offside position just now and should not have awarded the goal valid, but the referee insisted on the original decision.

"According to the offside rule, although Xiao Xiao Luo was in an offside position before, it was obvious that he did not intervene in the game, he just interfered with the attention of the defenders, he walked back on the left side of the penalty area, but Aguero broke through the ball in the penalty area in a sudden anti-offside position, and the moment Aguero broke through to Xiao Xiao Luo in front of him, Xiao Xiao Luo's offside state was broken, so he was in a state of non-offside, and the goal was effective!"

The on-site commentator explained the scene with a smile, "Real Madrid's attack emphasizes running without the ball, and is very good at taking advantage of this offside rule, Athletic Bilbao must be cautious, you must keep an eye on Real Madrid, and the back line is better to be able to retreat." ”

Just after Real Madrid took a goal lead, Yang Cheng waved his hand, and Real Madrid chased after the victory again. played a round of rushing attacks and suppressed Athletic Bilbao in momentum. And then go for the second goal.

Caparos was also aware of the crisis of the situation. Immediately contracted the defense, and finally saved the 0:1 game, and entered the halftime break, after all, shrinking the defense is a big problem for all attackers. No one dares to say that it can be broken easily.

But it is clear that the momentum and initiative are on Real Madrid's side.

There were no substitutions for either side in the second half. After the rematch of Yibian, Yang Cheng took advantage of Real Madrid's half-time lead and played a round of strong attacks in the second half. A fierce assault on Athletic Bilbao. Especially in the opponent's 32-meter area, it is a frequent threat.

It took 14 minutes to attack, and it wasn't until the 59th minute that Real Madrid received a pass from Xiao Xiaoluo in the penalty area by Aguero, and grabbed the point for Real Madrid to go down again, 0:2!

68th minute. David? Silva delivered a lethal short ball from the right of the flank that Kaka cut into the box to receive the ball. Breaking through the opponent's central defender and picking up the back point, Xiao Xiaoluo was almost in front of the goal line, and his header smashed Kaka's pass into the goal of Athletic Bilbao, 0:3!

After scoring consecutive goals, Real Madrid has completely controlled the game, and Yang Cheng has made substitution adjustments, replacing the teenager Parejo and replacing Xavi? Alonso, replacing David with Canales? Silva, in the end, replaced the good Aguero with Klose. ..., this is to give these players a bit of a habit of the official game, especially Klose, who has not played a competitive game for a long time, although he has performed well in the warm-up game before, but it is a warm-up game, which is very different from the official game.

After the substitution, Real Madrid's performance declined, after all, with a three-goal lead, it was a bit unnecessary to continue to strengthen the attack, but the two youngsters on the pitch performed well.

"Digging potential newcomers, this is what Yang Cheng has been doing, whether it is in Kaiserslautern, or at Inter Milan, or in Liverpool, he has unearthed a group of very good rookies, and now in Real Madrid, he has brought five eaglets to Castilla, which is undoubtedly his outstanding contribution to Real Madrid's youth training!"

'Parejo made a number of appearances in the first team last season and did very well and now we see that he has a great deal of control and command in midfield, and he has great passing skills, while Canales is a bit more attacking but also has excellent creativity and skill.

"Real Madrid has always given people the impression that the academy is a field of fat and water only flowing into the field of outsiders, but after Yang Cheng came to power, he has promoted a number of youth players, such as Granero and De La Red, who were selected for the Spanish national team, Negredo who switched to Sevilla, and Xavi who switched to Villarreal? Garcia, Getafe's Soldado, Arbeloa and Miguel in the current squad? Torres is a young player he pulled out single-handedly. ”

"Looking at the past three years, Real Madrid Castilla is now full of talent, the youth system is working well, last season Castilla was only one point away in La Liga, and lost the La Liga title at the last moment, but Castilla's performance is absolutely amazing, especially this group of young players in the team."

"This summer, Real Madrid continue to invest in Castilla, not long ago, Redondo announced that Castilla brought in midfield rookie Mvilla from Rennes for 250 euros, the French player is 19 years old this year, has not made a single appearance for Rennes, but Real Madrid's scouting team has a very high opinion of him, thinking that he will grow into an excellent attacking and defensive midfielder."

"It is worth mentioning that Mwila and the current centre-back Varane at Real Madrid are both the main players of the French team at the European Youth Championship in Ukraine this summer, and Real Madrid scouts also unearthed Mwila when they were scouting Varane and decided to spend a lot of money to bring him to the Bernabeu Stadium."

"After Redondo took the helm of Castilla, he received strong support from Yang Cheng, not only obtained a generous transfer budget, but also made adjustments within the team. Alonso and many other stars are very popular with Redondo, and the Argentine coach is aiming to make Castilla the champion of La Liga this season! ”

"Real Madrid management also has high hopes for Castilla's ambitions, if Real Madrid team 1 and Real Madrid 2 both win the La Liga and La B championships, it will undoubtedly be a reappearance of the Five Eagles era, and Spanish football will completely enter the Real Madrid era!"

Returning home with a 3-0 win from Athletic Bilbao, Parejo and Canales came off the bench to put in impressive performances, but Yang Cheng was clearly not content with that as he came back against Rosenborg in the Bernabeu Cup in midweek. More youngsters have been promoted.

In the first half, Real Madrid's lineup was goalkeeper Casillas, and the backline was Arbeloa, Kompany, Ramos and Miguel? Torres. The double midfielders are Granero and De La Red. The defenders were Guti, Raul and Mesut Ozil, and the single striker was Klose.

Real Madrid took a 3-0 lead in the first half, with goals scored by Klose, De La Reid and Raul. ..., but in the second half, Real Madrid replaced Varane, Sarabia, Parejo, Canales, Morata, Muniain, Mwila and many other youngsters, and it was with the goals of Muniain and Morata. Real Madrid finally beat the visiting Rosenborg 5-0.

The performance of Real Madrid's academy youngsters in this game was eye-catching, especially the control and creativity they showed in the game. It's all amazing, and everyone is expecting them to perform in the next season, believing that they will be serious contenders for the La Liga title.

Mwila's debut at Real Madrid was eye-catching. The midfielder is both offensive and defensive. has skills and passes, and his defensive ability is not weak, he is very favored by Redondo, and his performance in the warm-up game is also very good, but he was not familiar with it before.

Yang Cheng was pleased with the performance of all the Real Madrid players after the Santiago Bernabeu Cup game.

"We can all feel it. Everything is getting better and better for the team, both for the first team and for Castilla. Everything is going on and improving, which I think is great, but we still have a lot of room for improvement and we shouldn't be satisfied because as we improve, our opponents are also improving. ”

'We haven't changed much this season, we haven't changed much in our squad and it's not because we want to continue the form we had last season, but we know that we still have a lot of room for improvement, we don't get tired of winning, we don't get tired of accolades, we're still hungry.'

"I am confident that this season Real Madrid will show a new and alternative attacking football, and I hope to be able to show all Real Madrid fans, all fans around the world, my football philosophy, to interpret the definition of all-attacking and all-defensive football!"

Yang Cheng's confidence was also supported by Real Madrid's players.

Thiago, the heart of the team's defense? Silva said, "A lot of people say that I have reinterpreted a playmaking centre-back, but in fact it comes directly from our head, who told me that there is a need for playmakers on every front, and a lot of people play centre-back at the back to improve their organisational skills, but he doesn't have to, because I, Ramos, Pepe can do that. ”

"We always knew that the leader was making a great change, and we all believed that he would succeed, and all of us would fully support him in his success!"

Captain Casillas also said, "When the leader conveyed his thoughts to us, I had a hunch that this could be a season that will go down in history, so each of us is full of anticipation and confidence in the upcoming new season, we will be successful, and all of us will unswervingly support our leader!" ”

In addition to gaining the support of the players, Florentino also said, "Yang Cheng told me that his desire is not to let Real Madrid repeat the glory of history, but to break through the glory of history, and he said that he hopes to create a super team that is comparable to the era of the Saki Milan dynasty, and bring long-term glory to Real Madrid!" ”

"I was impressed by his ambition, by his charisma, by the blueprint he sketched and by his unrivalled confidence, so I am now an unwavering Caesar, and I want to see all of that, and for that, the club will support him unconditionally in every aspect."

From top to bottom, Real Madrid showed unrivalled solidarity and confidence, as evidenced by the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup, where they thrashed Athletic Bilbao 5-0 at the Bernabeu.

It was an amazing game because from the very beginning of the game, Real Madrid completely took the initiative, especially the incredible off-ball running and passing and receiving of the ball that Real Madrid players showed in the game, and Athletic Bilbao struggled to keep up with Real Madrid's rhythm and pace. ..., fast, is a tactical tone of Real Madrid, but all the players on the field are uniformly fast, which undoubtedly becomes Real Madrid's most powerful weapon to destroy the opponent, the returning Villa scored a hat-trick, in his competition with Aguero to redefine their position, and Xiao Xiao Luo and Kaka each scored a goal.

Winning the Spanish Super Cup 8-0 over two legs, Real Madrid's strength is clear at a glance.

The media all over the world are amazed by the strength of Real Madrid and the strong fighting power shown by this team, and even Alfredo, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper As, exclaimed in his column: God, Real Madrid!

He believes that after the summer training, Yang Cheng has transformed and improved Real Madrid's skills and tactics to the greatest extent, which has made a huge leap forward in the overall technical and tactical level of the Real Madrid team, and has made all-round progress, especially the players' use and switching of ball control and control space in running without the ball, and the pressure on the opponent in attack and defense, which all reflect the technical and tactical level of Real Madrid that is more than one step higher than the opponent.

"Yang Cheng said that he wants to challenge for the unprecedented La Liga treble, I think it is very possible, and even possibly, as Florentino said, that we are witnessing the birth of a team that is comparable to the Milan dynasty of Sacchi!"

But in the face of overwhelming praise from the outside world, Yang Cheng did not flutter, he said that the team can continue to improve in many aspects, and he hopes that all players will guard against arrogance and rashness, and strive to play every game!
